New Cd:Super Furry Animals - Dark Knights Light Years super furry animals

By Patrick Daniels

Their Dark Days Light Years goes back to their playful roots, but their last two albums have been much slower with a new feel. The Super Furry Animals don't have a problem trying out new sounds and keeping their amazing sense of humor through it all.

SFA is always looking for a great time it seems like. Dark Days Light Years makes you want to dance. Their music has been through everything it seems like from a range of dance themes to slower ballads and even to folk songs. This new album is more like a collection of singles than a uniform theme but is amazing none the less.

The album begins with the song Crazy Naked Girls, a psychedelic acid trip that utilizes the whammy bar as thoroughly as possible. The song's mammoth riffs lead straight into the track Mt., which is a interesting mix of glam and folk styles; the song is basically what happens when David Bowie meets John Denver. Ever creative, the Super Furry Animals employ the use of an erhu in the song. An ehru is a two-stringed Chinese instrument that you play with a bow.

One of their tracks, is purely pop. They have a track that gives the feeling of skiing in Switzerland while wearing neon. It is just amazing all of the different ideas and concepts that they cover. They never fail to surprise their fans, in a good way.

Dark Days Light Years is the most dance worthy that SFA has had in a long time. They have a great mix of humor and playfulness that would be a great addition to anyone's collection. Take some time out to experience this band and you won't be sorry! - 18780

Together Through Life by Bob Dylan

By Patrick Daniels

Forty-five albums, sixty-eight years, an uncountable number of songs written, and Bob Dylan is still just blowing in the wind. Dylan has often been compared to a poet who writes his odes to music, and recently, people have begun to talk about him as a was - he was the singer/songwriter of his generation. He was revolutionary. He was a genius.

With 'Together Through Life,' Dylan's forthcoming forty-sixth album, he has done something truly revolutionary: lit a match to the banners proclaiming his reign as our protest, poet king at an end. 'Together Through Life' makes Dylan relevant to our times, an artist who, at sixty-eight, still has a lot of interesting things to say. It is also his most interesting record since 1997's 'Time Out of Mind.'

This is also a Dylan we haven't heard from nearly enough - many of the tracks are wry, sometimes comic slices of American life, where heartbreak, struggle, laughter, and beauty always come together. "Highlands" manages to be both epic and playful, while "If You Ever Go to Houston" will have you up and grooving before you know what's happened.

As one might expect from Dylan, the vocal tracks cease to be about what the lyrics are saying, but how the man himself makes you feel while singing them, croaking and jiving in whispers that makes you feel like he's telling secrets set to music. On 'Together Through Life,' Dylan seems comfortable, spontaneous, and in a mood to please absolutely no one but himself. This perspective makes for one of the most organically enjoyable albums of the year.

His last track on the album, "It's All Good" sums up his life and career. If you are a fan you will love and appreciate every second of it. Relax with a drink and listen to this album with friends. - 18780
